Having a boyfriend who is very casually into Pokemon is the worst. He will look at my screen and ask "what is that?", and I just have to answer Guzzlord. And now he is just dying of laughter instead of letting me explain how it is technically not a Pokemon but an ultra beast.

Melee's projectile iceberg

Nicki

@upgamer_Nicki

In Melee, a projectile is a fast hitbox that can be thrown out from far away that will pressure or even hit the opponent, possibly converting into a combo, while generally having little lag and being hard to punish. From this we conclude that Fox's full hop nair is a projectile

Puff can cover every tech option with pound on YS and PS! The main use is vs Sheik as you can not RTC her, but also good if you can not afford to rest. Just be aware when they can slide off the pound. Overall a great high reward low risk option if used well. #MayleeTips

Melee really still is a place where you can enable/encourage/take part in bullying people out of the scene and defend sexual harassers as long as you are good enough at the game. The idolization of top players the scene has, and how easily we overlook things is mind-blowing.

I don't know if people agree with this but, Melee (neutral) is not a reaction game, it is a pattern recognition game. Top players are not reacting to every move, they are looking for common patterns, creating reaction points to force decisions, or just playing true mix-up game

I decided to do a full flowchart that always lets Sheik kill Fox and Falco from a fair by ledge on Yoshi's. By drifting in and doing wall jump needle turn around you set yourself up to cover everything on reaction. This can also be useful vs Sheik and Falcon but they have mixups.

Ok so here's what happened. It has nothing to do with the techroll. You can ASDI down Fox's uair1 and land (at any % bc it's set kb), but uair2 normally hits during neutral landing lag after. Pip's SDI + the opponent's drift meant uair2 missed Fox but was in range of his shield.

As Marth vs Fox, if you grab someone RIGHT by the ledge one of 3 things can happen 1. Grounded grab release. Should give a free kill 2. Airborne grab release. About as good as f throw and most people are not ready. 3. You throwing. Normal edge guard/DI mixup

A common mistake people do while trying to edge guard Marth is to hit him when he is going up with the up b. You should delay the move a little bit because he can not grab right away. Applicable for most characters but mainly useful in the ditto!

Normally trying to attack a Marth killer is a bad idea because you will be in so much lag and the opponent will be in a great spot to punish you. But there is one exception! Doing a nair on the bottom part of their shield will hit them! And it always stage spikes on BF!

If Sheik cancels her needle charge the same frame she lands, they will stay in her hand. While this is a cool glitch, they are visible during her up b. This means the opponent can react to where you recover to way earlier. Same reason people dont use nametags with Sheik.

When doing a dash forward, you are unable to dash back until you have spent 4 frames in dash. This does not apply if you start by dashing backwards. So for optimal chain grabs you should be doing pivot back grabs to beat slight DI. Mostly useful for marth vs fox at 12-20%

Probably the most underused option with ICs at the moment is forward throw into reverse dash attack. Against fox and falco this will combo into grab vs every DI working up until around 50% which should be enough to net you a kill almost always.

Marth has the best power shield in the game. This is because his PS bubble does not line up with his hurtbox when he does it during a dash or crouch. Other top tiers shield does not behave this way. This means any moves/projectiles that does not hit low are free to power shield!
